what are the causes and effect of earth quake

Answer 1

Hey Friend

✨Causes of Earthquakes

Earthquakes are the result of fault movements where two moving plates collide in areas of continental drift. They occur along faults or cracks in the Earth's outer crust. When it is dense oceanic plate for example subsides beneath the lighter continental plate, resulting in shock causes vibration or earthquakes. The masses of oceanic rocks create a tremendous impact on meeting, which creates the earthquake. Earthquakes tend to originate from the Subduction Zone.

             Causes and effect of earthquakes

Causes of Earthquake. Earthquakes are caused by sudden tectonic movements in the Earth's crust.
